Catherine Zeta Jones Tells Husband Michael Douglas About Late Father Kirk Douglas: “He loved you so very much my darling”

Share

Michael Douglas has posted a lovely tribute to his dad, Kirk Douglas on Instagram. And his wife Catherine Zeta Jones responded: “He loved you so very much my darling.” Even a cynic like me is tearing up.

Here is Michael’s post:

“It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103. To the world he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to.

But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply Dad, to Catherine, a wonderful father-in-law, to his grandchildren and great grandchild their loving grandfather, and to his wife Anne, a wonderful husband.

Kirk’s life was well lived, and he leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet.

Let me end with the words I told him on his last birthday and which will always remain true. Dad- I love you so much and I am so proud to be your son. #KirkDouglas”
